Not only are you a good cook, but also a great teacher! You can explain very well👍 So clear and I love how your voice sounds

[@docrw]

That was so helpful, you're as good at teaching cooking as language.

[@fungbilinarzary7071]

Hi, sister I'm plng to go in Thailand

[@nino1954]

@Pailin's Kitchen Listening to you, a beautiful song comes to mind: You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, it's true!

[@IcedLatteAize]

Thai language isn't hard in grammar, but hard in tone of word. The melody of word will make foreigners confuses easily. But don't worry if you guys come to Thailand and try to communicate with ppl in Thai, every with help and Thai ppl love the foreigners who try to speak in Thai

[@paula-yr7pp]

im farang who love going to Thailand I have had over 100 hours of thai classes. I love trying to speak thai with thai people. I still have a lot to learn specially with tones but I love it.

[@kungfuman82]

Thanks for the foreword. I'm going to Thailand this summer and I'm starting this language from scratch, so this information will prove useful.

[@jadekayak01]

Very correct. Thai people really appreciate others completely screwing up the language but TRYING to get it right. I dont get that any more cause i speak to well to be a begginer.

True, I had a hard time explaining on the buss that I wanted to go to tuk Chang, (elephant building) the tuk was pronounced durk, got there in the end with the help of people on the buss, everybody helped, that's what thailand is about... 🇹🇭👍

Tack Oskar det underlättade mycket när man ville lyssna om på någon specifik fras.

[@Pantherking916]

You could not have made this any more welcoming, easy, gentle and interesting. You are what makes Thailand beautiful

[@Darkangel-A-c8z]

Sawadee ka. I was adopted from Bangkok by Swedish parents when I was 6 weeks old and grew up in Sweden speaking Swedish as my mother tounge, so now I'm trying to learn my native language Thai and culture

[@ibec69]

You’re really an ambassador of your culture Pailin. Thank you for this. Although I love the way Thai language sounds, I have a very tough time imitating it. I’ll keep trying. 👍

[@limseebee]

Please do a full language series !! You’re the best and clearest Thai language teacher so far!

[@Dinesh-Poudel-Itahari]

I can now see how beautiful the Thai language is. You are the manifestation of Thai culture and language and life. You charm the world.

[@Seth-mu3wo]

I love you're cooking videos, as well as your language classes. They're short, sweet, and complete. Considering that I live here in Thailand, these phrases are excellent for me to begin with. It's so important that we all try to learn the basics, to show respect to our host country and people. The Thai people have been awesome family and I, and I'm happy to reciprocate that.

[@ragirinarasimhulu4153]

You are good lady, I am very much pleased. Your voice is very sweet and melodious. None other than you explained the basic principles as you. Thank you very much.

[@shaungordon9737]

You're a really good teacher! As you speak both English and Thai like a native, you can explain things far better than a lot of other teachers out there. More language lessons would be great

[@u2bdancer]

I love your lesson, because it’s nice to hear your voice and its nice to see you, I mean easy to the eyes and ears. Please do more. I’m sending this video to my daughter who is half Thai and can’t speak thai.

[@PaigeDWinter]

You are my hero, just saying. I don't get a lot of guests or clients from Thailand at my job (cruise terminals) but when I do, I get a lot of smiles when I say hello in Thai! Thank you!!!!

[@tiffanynguyen2720]

The lesson is easy to understand both in Thai and English. Thank you so so much❤️❤️

[@jeloborillo3575]

I've been in Thailand so many times and I love the people and the country. Thailand is my second home 💕

[@mrdeeng]

[@kubajurka]

I think I was kinda secretly hoping for something like this :D

[@dreammix9430]

This is absolutely positively awesome! Thank you so so much for this video!! This is one of the best Thai language videos I found on KZbin

[@mlmontalvo]

This is awesome!!!! But I’ll need to replay this video a couple dozen times before ANY of this sinks in. Thank you soooo much for this.

[@nino1954]

Believe me Pai, you're the most beautiful teacher on the web. 😍

[@taha_4656]

this is going to be very useful for when i visit thailand

[@netik5487]

I'm from nepal, so,i also want to learn thai language.. Because now i'm staying in south korea as worker. here have so many thai peoples.we worked together everyday/every months nd every years.so,i have experience about thai peoples.i can say, Thai peoples are a lot kindly nd friendly.they are also helpful.so,i can't never forget to thai peoples when i go back to my home country nepal.i missing so so much...

[@jallie_beans]

Thanks for this video! My friend traveled to Thailand for this first time in February and has been corresponding with a woman he met while there. I’ve been trying to teach him some phrases but you’ve summed everything up perfectly. For yes/no questions, I sometimes just answer with a “ka” as a positive acknowledgement of the question. Mainly this is when speaking to my parents or their friends, but as you said, it’s situational. Looking forward to more language videos!

[@jayajapus2164]

Pls do more Thai learning language video. You explain it clearly and easy to understand, unlike other thai language tutorial ..

[@ikaros21]

Great video. Thai is by far the most beautiful and pleasant language in the world!

[@jgr8house]

being in Thailand since December makes me appreciate your (incredible) English!! Wow. Would love to meet a Thai person with your English skills! Khap Kun Krub!

[@safetytools8585]

YOU ARE AWESOME PERSONALTY I FEEL POSITIVE ENERGY WHEN I AM WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS,THANK YOU KOB KUN CRUB

[@Ezaffin]

I have been wanting to learn Thai for two years now. I wrote a paper on it for linguistics this year and it just made me more intimidated TT Thank you for making this video so I can learn a little Thai ^^

[@sh3n3ng]

I speak thai fluently but I watch this video anyway. It made me smile.

[@renaldo5925]

Thank you Pailin. I am learning. I love your voice!

[@Lordschmitt]

As a half ‘farang’ child, I really appreciate learning the correct way of speaking. I think a lot of us half thais who grow up in other countries, don’t learn the proper thai way of speaking but can get by. Thank you for the video 💕 I always enjoy them

[@ddavidshi]

I will be travelling to Thailand next week, and this video will definitely be in my hand throughout the trip. Thanks, Pai! ☺️

[@yamawowlai]

Thai language is not difficult but tone marks so difficult

[@JK-vi2yb]

I love the Thai language so much that I challenged myself to sing a song in Thai kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnarpHWqhMuMgtk even though it is such a foreign language to me

[@bonewman7029]

Hi Pai, Sabai de mai? You should open Thai language school! Seriously, your teaching method is so good (dee). If you plan to open the school, please let me know I would like to be your student 👨‍🎓 . I just visited Thailand 3 weeks ago and had a good time. Thanks for your first Thai Lesson. Please continue to do more, Kha pon Krup 🙏

[@milkyway3298]

thanks for your helping in teaching Thai language, it's really amazing.

[@aimzee]

This is the perfect video to start with when dipping your toes in Thai travel language. Thank you Pai!

[@12ism]

Wow, thank you so much Pailin! I love the way you explain things. From your cooking to languages. It's always very well articulated, thoughtful and easy to understand for international audiences. You have a gift. Looking forward to see more Thai language video tutorials such as this! :)

[@PailinsKitchen]

Aw, thanks!

[@adhomoovlogs.8955]

Really I like thai language...

[@sarab4364]

I like this video so much , please keep on posting alot of them, i am half thai and cannot speak the language to communicate with family.

[@antvenanciodonascimento2946]

Congratulations! You're very kind to teach us this smiling , although serious, language.

[@dineshsewak3050]

Mam You are the best tutor for thai language! thanks a tonne! for making this video

[@AMOEDEN888]

Thank you so much, I hope to travel to Thailand in the future and want to be respectful

[@gaetanlharidon8540]

Thank you for this video. You reminded me why we call your country, the land of smile !

[@anurasilva6195]

This is very useful

[@alexpaulson4597]

Very interesting! Thanks for the lesson! "I want to make sure I'm polite when I am demanding things from people!" cracked me up!

[@majelledeguzman1121]

My fave Thai Lesson Vid so far. Will be visiting Thailand for the 2nd time on feb, I'm learning from this. Thank you!!! Subscribed!!!!!

[@sunainanaina7223]

Oh thank you so much it was so helpful its been 4 months since I'm in Thai and sometime it gets difficult to understand but now seems better

[@gilguillermo5741]

Well done! I love how bilingual you are, and how clearly you taught. I teach school in San Francisco. I'll try these phrases out!

[@carpii]

i watched heaps of ‘learn thai’ vids before my last trip, but you are the first ever to just explain that krub can just be shortened to kub. Thankyou, it has confused me for a while now

[@carpii]

I mostly learnt very basic Thai, just enough to order from street food vendors and restaurants/markets. It's good to understand the context of what I'm saying though, so thanks for the tips!

[@kurtcriscione316]

I have a Thai friend and haven't seen her in months, so when I saw her tonight I greeted her with Sawaddee krub, she was surprised and I let her borrow your cookbook, she also has a love of tiny tools... She wonders if it's a Thai trait? Kind of funny to come home and see you out this video up. Great video thanks.

[@josephaaronflores6294]

You are very good in English diction and Thai language. Hope to see more of your videos regarding Thai words specially for travellers.

[@khalidafsar7203]

Hello Pailin'Thanks for posting this video.you are an excellent Thai teacher.It is very easy to learn the Thai language from you due to your excellent English.

[@panhialee6885]

Kob khun mak mak...I’m in the process of learning the Thai language as a 4th language for myself. And I love this video from you! ❤️

[@joneenurse9616]

Love it! My beautiful Thai language.

[@kenchioz7080]

I love thai culture. I work before in south ao nang and have many thai friend from hat yai. 😍😍😍

[@NorthernBCFlyGuy]

One of the smartest things I did on my trip to Thailand was take a week of language courses when I arrived in Thailand. Cooking courses were great too!

[@テニスのだいちゃん]

Thank you! Great job!

[@yinyinwin6951]

In December, I have to go Bangkok for a few days. Thanks for details explanation on it. I'll keep and watching on it. Many thanks.

[@nitinchamroo5748]

Sawadee ka, Been to Thailand more than 20 times, after watching it i feel more travelling back to Thailand. Kapun ka

[@kaweejay]

Nitin Chamroo you have to end with the word “krub” becoz you are a man.

[@nitinchamroo5748]

i thought when addressing to a man the use "krub"but since I am addressing to Pailin I need to use ka :),

[@kaweejay]

Nitin Chamroo nope. It doesn’t matter who you are addressing to. :)

[@bend.6091]

@@nitinchamroo5748 Normally Thai guys use the word "Krub" no matter what they talk to any gender but some use "Kha" when they talk to girls whom they view as a child or someone they have to protect and/or take care. I do too. Mostly with my niece or some younger friends in case I want to show my kindness or to show them support/encouragement. But warn you most Thai girls think that guy who use "Kha" with girls is a flirt.

[@歌歌-t2h]

Maybe he is a lady boy lol

[@WorldTrotterHereandBeyond]

Thanks for the new knowledge. I love Thai people!

[@jhuncuizon6562]

I really love the way you talk in both languages. ❤👍

[@mauriziobertoli3324]

I’ve always hoped for Pai’s Thai lessons! Thank you, you’re the best!

[@mdlcchannel7531]

Im a filipina and i love thai drama that's why im eager to learn how to read and write or even speak thai language. I would love to visit Thailand soon. If there's anyone here who wants to learn filipino or English i can tutor you in exchange of teaching me how to speak and read thai language. I badly wanted to learn it. Love from the Philippines ❤️ khob khun kha

[@Mrs.JanaiaLis]

I was born in Thailand, immigrant to US with my parents since age of 1 yo… now I need to learn the language before I go back to visit :)

[@robertmaddelena7890]

Lots to learn. Love the sounds of the language.

[@abdullamamun3248]

You are really good teacher for thai language. Keep it up.

[@MrsMoroccanx]

Visiting Thailand next month so this couldn't come at a better time! Cant wait for your Thailand vids!!!

[@thaoii]

Yaaaasss! Can't wait for the restaurant episode. Please include phrases about being a vegetarian.

[@terezarasovska8346]

Wow you explain very good. The best video on Thai language so far

[@Aftonrhodes]

The explanation for there being no "please" was very useful. I've been looking for this for a while! I'm a big fan of your cooking videos and have been cooking Thai meals from your recipes for 6 months (7 days a week). You make cooking very easy - so I'm interested in your language videos too, as I am also learning. It would help if you could include the Thai script too - as I'm trying to avoid romanised versions of the words! Looking forward to the next video :)

[@chloezhang9875]

Please teach more Thai!!

[@jsmooth6311]

Thanks for the Thai language lessons... Very nice☺

[@terryb3388]

what a great teacher

[@jeremyapplegate4868]

Great video! Your term explanation when describing dishes at the beginning of your videos has always been very helpful. Keep up the good work!

[@FlintF]

Sometimes it's so difficult to not fall in love with people.

[@snowmembe]

Pailin!!! You never cease to amaze me!!! 🤗👍👍👏👏👏👏👏😍❤️💕

[@1122redbird]

This is excellent. I love Thai language. Your clear explanations are very helpful - particularly the "ground rules" you laid out up front which are things that have confused me but you cleared up nicely!

[@jeupii]

Always hooked with different languages and Thai is one of them. Kaw Toad krub! 🙏🏼

[@kazinajmussakibibrahim4191]

I am from America but I love Thailand more than my own life

[@okayyyy8028]

Best basic explanation vid by far

Wow I totally tried to rub that fly off :)

[@gmoney4980]

Finally a video for my Mrs. I get tired of being the translator for her. Lol!

[@My_dailyL1fe]

Pai. This is great. Keep teaching the language it will take off. I'm sure of it...

[@peterbradley4916]

great stuff.

[@TinTin-wi6xg]

What a great video ! thanks Pai. I'm going to be hooked on these language videos (as well as the food ones of course).

[@maisee7225]

Thank you!!! Keep these videos coming. I’m going to Thailand in September and this is very useful.

[@semco72057]

I love that information since I plan on getting back to Thailand before it is too late for me. When I was there for two years I learned so much and loved the people so much and definitely miss some of the places I use to go to. I spent plenty of time at the Prince Hotel in Bangkok, and at the Swan Lake Hotel in the Kilo 10 area outside of Sattahib.

[@jentape]

This is very helpful for us travellers somebody told me one time sawadee ka and i also respond back by wai then they start talking to me in thai i said no sorry i am not thai. Its funny thai and filipinos almost same skin complexion and height

[@rusanakanthi2732]

I like your English

[@ngochuong4586]

this was so fabulous!! the best way to learn languages for sure. can't wait to see more. makes me want to go back to thailand!

[@gilleswalther5964]

Best Thai lesson ever, would have been great before my trip to Thailand 😂

[@waynekerr7838]

Fabulous idea Pai, I love this ! and you explain everything so well. I've been watching ThaiPod101 to learn Thai but your video is much better. Well done Pai.

[@kaceydillin7367]

I just randomly found this channel, and video. As a Chef, absolutely appreciate the food porn videos. You could absolutely teach Thai. I learned so much from just this video. Well done!

[@jihoonbaek2107]

This video what I need! I really super love it so much!! :) Thank you so much for making this video :) I am from Seoul, Korea and getting ready to go to Thailand for work this month! it helps me a lot and I won't be confusing!!

[@peterstang]

Very useful indeed. I've been to Thailand several times and wish to better my oral communication there. Thank you very much.

[@AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you, Pailin. Very interesting.

[@smiley6173]

Sadwaddee Ka🙏🏼 I was watching some recipes and Thai caught my eye. Since Bangkok is on my list to visit. Solo traveler. So I need to learn some words, prefer to be polite. Respectful is so much nicer. Thank you.... wow lots of words
